A mobile dental clinic travels around the city, visiting different neighborhoods and different old age homes, special care facilities and special school facilities, or rural or remote homes and facilities. A dental care clinic that is mobile is a fully equipped dental clinic. A patient walks inside and it looks and feels like a regular dental practice. There is the chair, mirrors, basin, running water, cabinets for the equipment, all the equipment that is needed, good lighting, and a stool for the dentist. Everything is well thought through and well considered, and is comfortable and hygienic for the patient. Mobile dental care means that people who cannot get to the dentist, now get to the dentist. Just the dentist comes to them.
Cost of mobile dental care
Some medical aids or health care plans pay for mobile dental care but if a person has to pay themselves, the cost is pretty much the same as visiting a regular dentist. The costs may even be lower. Mobile dental vans move around so if there is not one in your immediate area, just use the internet to find the closed mobile dental practice. As we say, they move around, so they will come to you. Generally they see several patients in a day, all from the same care home, one after the other. You would need to make an appointment, or get the care facility to coordinate appointments for you.
Mobile dental care is aimed at elderly people who cannot get to the dentist. Treatments include all the dental treatments and procedures that elderly people generally require. This could be tooth extractions, building bridges, building dental plates, filling cavities, and of course, regular oral cleanings. Dental care is vital as a person ages and a mobile dental clinic ensures that older people can look after their teeth, all through life.
